"First Constable of Prince Edward County, VA." "...from John Gaulden's Estates...100 Acres." Alexander Sr. received 100 acres of land from his father's estate.[1]
Research Notes
Several family histories have this Alexander born in the 1740s, jumping from the births of children in the 1720 to 20 years later. Did John Mathew marry twice? No evidence of this has been uncovered. A 20-year gap between the births of children is not unheard of - has happened in this family in a well-documented way. The other explanation is that other genealogies have stepped over this Alexander.
Sources and documentation are needed to further connect these families. For now, this profile will reflect the research of Bill Gaulding of Kansas, noted below.
Bill Gaulding of Kansas in his Descendants of John Gaulding has Alexander Gaulding, b. 1726 then jumps 20 years to the next sibling, William Gaulding b. 1745.
Charles Gaulding, omits the dates for the children of John Mathew in his The Gaulden, Gauldin, Gaulding, Family History -- A Seven Hundred Year Study, Volume One, p.29, Dr. Charles H. Gaulden, Self Published, April, 1999. Dr. Gaulden.

Paternal relationship is confirmed through Y-chromosome DNA testing. Anonymous Gaulding and Earle Gaulden match on 35 out of 37 markers thereby confirming their direct paternal lines back to their MRCA John Mathew Gaulding. Working on further research before adding DNA confirmed status.
